Aurora / permit planning

Connect the roof scope with the inspection plan.

Use Aurora’s current code and roofing resources to organize the application and the stages of work.

  1. Check the adopted-code resources.

    Start with the Building Division’s current code list and roofing guide. Match the proposed product and roof assembly to the actual project.

  2. Organize the Aurora4Biz record.

    Keep the property address, permit information and approved documents together. Identify shared-roof work limits and the person authorized to approve the scope.

  3. Make inspection access part of the schedule.

    Prepare the permit number, address or unit, inspection type and contact. Coordinate required inspections while the relevant work remains visible.

Source checked October 22, 2026. Confirm current City instructions for the actual address and scope before work.

Roofing in Aurora, Colorado

Your property.
The local details.

The first question is what roof work solves the problem. Our team reviews the existing covering, leak history and roof details, then separates repair options from replacement scope. For attached homes or commercial property, we also establish who can authorize work and how occupants will be protected.

Set the boundaries on shared roofs

For a townhome, condominium or multi-building property, identify the owner or association responsible for each roof area. Mark units, shared drainage and proposed work limits so an estimate and site plan refer to the same building.

Match details to the selected system

Shingle, tile, metal and low-slope areas need system-specific details. Review transitions, penetrations and product instructions; include solar equipment or other rooftop work when present. Heavy-material changes need a separate review of structural information.

Prepare for Aurora inspections

Aurora's inspection process uses the permit, site address and inspection contact to identify the work. Keep approved plans and inspection records available and coordinate required inspections before work is concealed. The City's roofing guide is a useful starting point for the selected assembly.

Start the project with useful information.

  • Existing covering, roof-zone and leak-history assessment
  • Shared-roof responsibility and unit identification
  • Shingle, tile, metal and low-slope scope options
  • Solar, penetration and adjacent-trade coordination
  • Aurora permit documents and inspection access
  • Owner notices, debris planning and closeout records

Look beyond the shingle sample.

The visible covering is one decision. Existing deck boards, lower roof slopes and the selected product's instructions can change the work beneath it.

01 / A local question

Does one damaged deck area mean replacing the whole deck?

Aurora's deck-sheathing guidance says an individual noncompliant section does not automatically require replacement of the remaining decking when the finished installation meets the roofing manufacturer's instructions.

The City's January 2024 guidance also ties spaced-board acceptability to the selected manufacturer's requirements. Record the existing condition, the product instruction used and the location of any proposed overlay or replacement before authorizing a whole-deck allowance.

02 / A local question

Can a lower porch roof use the same shingles?

Check the measured slope. The reroof guide hosted by Aurora calls for an approved low-slope membrane below 2:12 and different underlayment treatment between 2:12 and 4:12.

Ask for a separate slope and assembly description for a porch or addition. The guide is a general reference; confirm the selected product's limits and the City's direction for the actual roof, including the transition into the adjoining covering.

Aurora / roofing questions in practice

An Aurora roof scope needs an inspection sequence, not just an application.

Connect the proposed covering, open details, required inspection stages and final records while the work can still be reviewed.

Where do I check Aurora roofing permit and inspection requirements?

Start with Aurora’s Building Division permit resources and Roofing Guide, then connect the permit to the City’s inspection process. Use the instructions that apply to the actual roof and current application.

Keep the selected product, roof areas and proposed work ready when asking the department for direction. Confirm the application type, documents and inspection stages before details are concealed. A building code list alone does not identify all of the steps for a particular reroof.

Keep in the file: The current permit/roofing instructions and the project’s inspection plan.

02 / AURORA

What information makes an Aurora roof inspection request useful?

Use the project’s permit record and identify the inspection being requested, the building or unit, the site contact and access arrangements. Aurora’s inspection page links its online request procedures and Roofing Guide.

Ask which details must remain visible and coordinate the request with the crew’s sequence. If an area cannot be inspected safely or a different trade is responsible for adjoining work, resolve that before the visit. Save the result and any correction items in the same project file.

Keep in the file: Inspection request, access plan, result and correction closeout.

03 / AURORA

How should an Aurora townhome or shared roof be divided in the proposal?

Identify the approved work boundary and the party authorized to approve it. A visible roof plane may cross ownership or association responsibilities; an individual address does not by itself define the construction contract.

List included units or buildings, shared drainage, adjoining roof transitions and the contact responsible for association decisions. Keep owner approval separate from City requirements. Ask how work will be sequenced around occupied entrances and how any change beyond the agreed boundary is authorized.

Keep in the file: Approved building/unit limits and responsibility for shared details.

04 / AURORA

What should I send about an Aurora roof leak before the assessment?

Send the building location, when the leak occurs, interior observations from a safe location and earlier repair records. Identify whether the concern is near a wall, penetration, eave or low-slope connection if you already know.

Rain direction, snowmelt timing and the history of previous patches can help frame the investigation. They do not prove the entry point. Ask the assessment to distinguish visible findings from concealed conditions and to explain any opening, testing or follow-up needed before a repair scope can be fixed.

Keep in the file: A dated leak log and a clear list of assessment limits.

Roofing questions, answered

Aurora Roofing: your questions.

Have a question about your property?
Talk with our team

Can you assess an Aurora roof with both shingles and a low-slope section?

Yes. Describe both areas and where water appears inside. The scope should identify each roof system and its transition details rather than applying one material or repair method to the entire building.

Who needs to authorize work on a shared roof?

Send the association or property-management contact and any applicable work boundaries or approval rules. Ownership and contract authority should be clear before a shared-roof project is scheduled or materials are selected.

What does Aurora need for a roofing inspection request?

The City's current instructions identify the permit number, address or unit, inspection type and contact information. The permitted scope must be ready for the requested inspection. Our project plan should allow for the applicable inspection stages before concealment.

Is a City inspection the same as a roof-condition assessment?

They serve different purposes. A project assessment helps define existing conditions and proposed work; a municipal inspection evaluates the permitted work. Keep assessment findings, the construction scope and permit records together so each answers the right question.
